Shepherd's Pie or Reese's Pie???

Hi all, here's another recipe that I promised to share. This was the one that I've tried the other day together with the peanut kueh. This was my first time trying a shepherd's pie but somehow I'm not sure how is the actual recipe tastes like....;p This pie came to my liking when I saw my aunt's (Venorica's Kitchen) post last week. Its so easy and something different to serve for dinner instead of noodles or rice we used to have. (My daughter used to complain that she's bored with rice and noodles...haha!)

Well, if you are wondering why I decided to have such a title for this post, this was because of 2 reasons. First, I never try to eat a shepherd's pie before and secondly I've changed the ingredients to suit my very own taste. But of course this was inspired by my aunt...:)Ingredients:200g minced chicken fillets6 small local potatoes (yellowish)50g white button mushrooms (sliced)** mozzarella cheese (depends on your liking, I used quite alot)100-150g carbonara sauce (I used Prego's brand)1 tbsp salted butter

Method:~ First marinate the minced chicken fillet with some dried bazil leaves, alittle paprika powder,alittle black pepper and a pinch of salt for at least 30 minutes.~ Cooked the potatoes until soften and mashed. Add in butter and mix well.~ Saute the minced meat with 1/2 tbsp olive oil until fully cooked and add in the mushrooms. Stir well, off heat.~ Then add in carbonara sauce and mix well. (If you find its too watery, then you may use less)~ Spoon the cooked meat into prepared tray, top with cheese then followed by mashed potatoes.~ Sprinkle some cheese on top of the potatoes if desire.~ Bake at preheated oven at 200'C for 25 minutes. Serve hot!

This recipe served a 8x4" and a 6x2" trays. Can you believe that my daughter finished up the small one and asked for more...;p Oh she just love carbonara sauce and that's why I used that andcheese.....YUM!! Now you know why I named such title here...LOL!!!

This pie looks delicious! I learnt from those English that shepherd pie uses mince mutton whereas cottage pie uses mince beef. Anyway, we can just cook in our likeness. I like the flossy potato on top of your pie, really yummy!

Nice! Indeed something different from the usual rice / noodles.  I love creamy mashed potatoes served in any form! Yum! Will try it out next time...maybe with mince pork? Since u don't take beef or mutton at home...like me, lol!
